Dog Eating Chump

hello all! my name is earthdeep (28, white british, autistic, half giant lesbian/half amorphous void, pronouns she/her/her or they/them/their).

my farming sim game will have animal butchery as a normalized part of the gameplay loop to act as a lightning rod to draw all the discourse and thinkpieces away from topics that would annoy me more

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

in my farming sim game that has animal butchery as a normalized part of the gameplay loop, shipped products will be sold on a weekly basis, not a daily one. you get a big windfall once a week and then you budget around that. if you want more money in the interim you have to go sell to the local merchants whatever products they specialize in.

The game should require you either use crop rotation or purchase expensive fertilizers to keep the soil nutrients at the correct level needed to grow your crops.

sometimes I am reminded that most people hate turnabout serenade, and like, I do acknowledge it is an objectively terrible case once you step off the logic path the game leads you down. where the fuck were the unnamed gavinners during the second act? bc they sure as shit weren't in their dressing room if they didn't hear the gunshots! were they napping? did they fuck off down the pub? were they actually haunted cardboard cutouts the whole time and that's why the intro cutscene glitches when it's emulated? and where the fuck did lamiroir and valant piss off to during the third act? why would valant not be the primary suspect considering he is unaccounted for, able to carry out disappearing acts, and used to be a part of a gun-themed magic act? how does he never come under suspicion?

however, counterpoint: tango klav funney.

also I have the type of autism that lets me listen to a minute-long piece of music on loop for hours at a time without giving into despair. so I think that probably helps.

[earthdeep]

also also, a screenshot of daryan crescend's fuckass fit was what prompted me to start playing ace attorney in the first place, so his case will always be a lil special to me.

the sims will never not be one of the funniest games on the planet

[earthdeep]

you know, blackquill's kinda a fucking idiot for trying to take the fall for athena in the way he did. like he is part of the team that KNOWS about the phantom, and KNOWS they have a reason to target metis specifically. by the time the HAT-1 disaster unfolds up in space, he should have a damn good idea of why there is now a dead scientist in the robotics lab! and his response is to double down on his false confession, ensuring no one bothers investigating any further and functionally booting himself from the phantom case!

like were you really that convinced athena actually killed her mum? or did you just think you couldn't prove otherwise (in what was allegedly before the Dark Age of the Law™ mind you) despite "otherwise" requiring all the hard work of LOOKING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON'S CCTV FOOTAGE TO FIND THE INJURED GUY RUNNING AWAY FROM THE CRIME SCENE. like dude, you couldn't even pretend to put up a fight long enough to encourage enough investigation to maybe get a lead on the true culprit? no, sure, definitely WAY more sensible to put yourself on death row despite the people who love your dumb ass screaming at you to not fucking do that.

god, at least gregory edgeworth thought he was in a locked room mystery.

[earthdeep]

seriously that cctv footage is so fucking bullshit man. zero fucking investigative effort. yeah we got one shot of our suspect walking off at 3pm, no need to rewind any further, wouldn't want to get a better picture of how people were moving around the high security space centre during a fucking murder or anything.

yet somehow it was the third biannual murderous prosecutor that kicked off the Dark Age of the Law™. sure bud.

JUNE!!

[fageleh]

hobbies should not take up this much space. there ought to be a hobby pocket dimension, where I am able to store everything I need in a breadbox that weighs no more than my cat.

allegedly some people who menstruate lose as little as 5mL of blood per period. I have to assume some of those surveyed were actually ants in disguise.

I feel like someone looking at my blog can tell when I'm currently working on fanfiction by the amount of nitpicking canon I'm doing

[innerchildabortionclinic]

the problem with genetically modified crops is not so much the genetic modification but the patenting of genetic codes (and crops in general) as a tool of maintaining agricultural imperialism, and for this reason I can't talk to most people about GMOs

[earthdeep]

a bit of fucked worldbuilding in aa6 I hadn't noticed up to now is that khura'inese people appear to change their surname upon marriage, despite a key component of sprit channelling being that you need a true, full name for it to work. like, do you get multiple true full names? or if someone gets married and changes their name have they done the equivalent of changing their twilight realm phone number? or if you only met someone post-marriage and never met their parents do you just not get to channel them?

[earthdeep]

and that's not even counting all the other reasons someone's "true name" might not be obvious. like there's being trans and having a deadname, obviously, which with reasonable worldbuilding would likely encourage more gender neutral names Just In Case (though you can't really tell bc all khura'inese names in canon are pun first, actual name fifth), but who fucking knows. but also what if someone emigrates and their name gets linguistically shifted to fit the local language? what about that thing a lot of chinese ppl do when working abroad, where they have an additional name that westerners can actually pronounce - would you need to know that as well as the rest of their name? what if a person doesn't technically know their full name - due to Immigrant Stuff, a decent part of my family has an extra, Secret surname on their birth certificates that no one noticed until they were all adults - would they have all been impossible to channel until they found out? if someone lost their memory including that of their identity and wound up taking a new name, which one would let them be channelled? likewise, what if a child was named then orphaned/abandoned while they were too young to remember and given a new name, which is the true one? could someone manipulate that last one and raise a kid under a fake name specifically so they can't be channelled when they die? hell, what about cultures that give babies one name and name them something different once they're older, do you need both of their names too, or just one? how about systems, do you have to contact each alter separately, or do they all have to agree to share a name even if they didn't before?
